DRAGON LOVE - Herne Hill one day tournament / takedown

Sunday August 28th. One day tournament at the last day (for now) of the best polo court in the UK.

FREE entry, teams of three. Starts at 10am. Fairly casual so only bring your Dragon Love.

Format to be decided depending on how many teams sign up. Might cap it at 16.

Prizes: £120 vouchers from Brixton Cycles for the winning team.

Open Bar: Party afterwards with LHBPA picking up ~£150 of the tab. Location TBC, possibly Canopy.

Winning team doesn't get their prizes until after the court has been fully dismantled.
Open Bar doesn't begin until after the court has been fully dismantled.
No work, no beer. Free beer tickets only for those who pitch in with taking the court down after.

What needs to be done with the court: The panels need to have the coping at the top taken off; and then all panels stacked in a pile where the others currently are under the tarp. The uprights need to be dismantled as much as possible - preferably so there are no 45 or 90 degree angles of joined timber.

I can bring an impact driver with two batteries, and a 3 foot crowbar. Herne Hill have a chainsaw that we will be able to use for the refuseniks who won't come apart with the usual pressures. If you have any lump hammers, drills, crowbars, hand saws, etc, please bring them along. Working together we should have the court down and stacked in the space of less than an hour.

More details to follow. Post your team details below to register:

DRAGON TEARS OF FIRE- Josh / Danny / Emmet

OP updated with some court takedown info. If you have any toolz, please bring them...

After party confirmed for Canopy.

@dubkev Do you think it would be okay if some French TV channel who wanna do a 5 minute bit on Bike Polo do it during this tournament?

Similar to the BBC Childrens thing we did at newt a few years back.

Boob Sweat: Charlie, Dan, Danielle

Four teams, 30 minute games, round robin, single elim

I'll float that suggestion with the organising committee

Also, the LHBPA tournament prize allocation subcommittee decreed that there should be a minimum of eight teams for the prize to stand. But the tab for after party beers and snacks still up for everyone.

Lol who's on the committee?

Is this not gonna happen now then? How many teams registered?

We can do throw ins or team games if there is not a late surge of interest.

Eight people so far.

What time do people want to start at?

Earlier the better! Available from 9am but that might be a bit too early for others.

Could do 10 and then be in canopy by 4/5?

Sound good to me. Get a couple of games done too.

Yeah games from 10 and then take down in the afternoon?
